Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is in the midst of a rehab assignment and could in all likelihood be activated in time for Friday’s contest versus the Phillies. Gurriel has appeared in two contests thus far with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats homering yesterday in a 12-1 route over Trenton.
Gurriel still sports an 11-game multiple hit streak that he will look to continue once back with the big club.
Sanchez Poised For Return
Aaron Sanchez could get the ball later this week after making another rehab start yesterday in Double-A. Sanchez was saddled with the loss surrendering three earned runs and walking four over 4.
